I just got done playing F.E.A.R., and now I totally want to run a story about a secret facility in which either a hypercorp or the Jovians tried to breed asyncs for military purposes using a modified Watts-Macleod strain of the Exsurgent virus.
What movies/books/games are you ripping off for story ideas? ;)

Re: Shameless ripoffs :D
Among many of the adventure ideas I have had (most of which I've drawn stright from the rulebook), one is Bladerunner influenced and set in Jovian Republic.

Re: Shameless ripoffs :D
(With apologies to OP) Moracai, that is an excellent idea! I presume the PCs would be looking for infiltrators from outside the republic, and view them as almost alien. I think it is a great way of showing the players how the republic reasons, that the outside transhumans are horrible TITAN infected immortal supervillains walking the streets pretending to be just like us!

Thanks SG :)
I doubt that none of my players lurk in this forum, but for safety measures: SPOILER ALERT!
Now that I gave it some more thought I think that I'll do a double-up scenario from it.
First, I give some Jovian NPCs for the players to play with. Play up some investigative stuff where the final lead takes them to a location X.
Then, I'll shift the attention back to the main PCs and suprise, surprise, they will have to go to location X where there will be the grand finale of the 'episode'.
It'll take a lot more thought than I've given it now to pull that one off without giving the plot away for the players in a too early stage...

Let me fly far away from here. Fun, fun, fuuuuun in the sun, sun, suuuuun.
The novelizations of the first two series (seasons) flesh out the universe a bit more than the shows did.
